Howdy,

I'm writing an app that is derived from CDHtmlDialog. After finishing the
whole thing, testing has shown problem that occurs on many Dell Windows 98
system with integrated graphics. We haven't seen this behavior on non-Dell
Windows 98 systems.

Images and HTML buttons on the rendered html page (loaded from a resource,
some elements controlled by DHTML) are just black shadows. If I drag any
other window across the CDHtmlDialog, then the images appear normally.

It appears that I need to invalidate the blacked out elements, but I haven't
figured out a way to do it. A Google groups search shows a few other people
have had this problem, none of them got a solution that I could find.

Any suggestions are welcome, this is driving me nuts.

thanks

Jim Howard
